What about people in rural areas. We need self driving cars too
I LIVE RURAL.
HAVE FOR OVER 32 years. WAS RAISED RURAL.
HAVE been driving since age 16. Now 85.
HAVE driven over a MILLION MILES===NO ACCIDENTS.
HAD ONLY ONE NEW CAR IN ENTIRE LIFE & PUT OVER 444,000 miles on it in about 22 years.
DRIVING 1976 1 ton STEEL 4 speed dually 454 Chevy truck that has over 348,000 on the chassis. I PERSONALLY PUT ON OVER 250,000 miles TOWING 2 horse & 4 horse trailers-—bought it used in 1986.
DRIVE 1979 STEEL BUICK WAGON with over 224,000 miles...bought it used in 1981. Also towed 2 horse trailer with it.
EASY to maintain. PARTS still available.
SUMMIT RACING PARTS HAVE NEVER LET ME DOWN.
DO NOT HAVE ANY INTEREST IN ANYTHING SELF DRIVING.
HAVE been places with truck that are rather off the beaten track.
“What about people in rural areas. We need self driving cars too”
Uh, NO we don’t....
Will the driverless cars put chains or snowtires on when it snows?
No, not only no, but HELL NO!!
Someone invents a new toy, and there are always those that just have to have one.
The mindset of many Americans is “New is better, bigger is better and high tech is better”. Not always, especially when it comes to digital devices.
Besides the obvious safety hazards and limitations driverless cars have, they also have potential risks the much loved cell phone has. Which means it can be hacked, it will have a perfect record of everyplace you’ve been, control can be hacked into and drive you where you don’t want to be, like off a cliff. Anything said can be overheard and recorded. It’s another way to take away freedom and control the public.
It can be said many new vehicles already have these drawbacks, but they can be defeated. I’ve defeated them on our vehicles.
